ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

The  Registrant,  Dean Witter Realty Income Partnership  I,  L.P.
(the  "Partnership"), is a limited partnership formed  in  August
1983  under the Uniform Limited Partnership Act of the  State  of
Delaware   for   the   purpose   of   investing   primarily    in
income-producing office, industrial and retail properties.

The  Managing General Partner of the Partnership is  Dean  Witter
Realty Income Properties I Inc. (the "Managing General Partner"),
a  Delaware  corporation which is wholly  owned  by  Dean  Witter
Realty  Inc. ("Realty").  The Associate General Partner  is  Dean
Witter  Realty Income Associates I, L.P. (the "Associate  General
Partner"), a Delaware limited partnership, the general partner of
which  is Dean Witter Realty Income Associates I Inc., a  wholly-
owned  subsidiary of the Managing General Partner.  The  Managing
General  Partner manages and controls all aspects of the business
of  the  Partnership.  The  terms  of  transactions  between  the
Partnership and its affiliates are set forth below in footnote  7
to the Financial Statements in Item 8 and in Item 13 below.

The  Partnership  issued  92,780  units  of  limited  partnership
interest  (the "Units") with gross proceeds from the offering  of
$92,780,000.  The offering has been terminated and no  additional
Units will be sold.

The   proceeds  from  the  offering  were  used  to  make  equity
investments  in  four office properties, two office/research  and
development properties and one retail property, all of which were
acquired without mortgage debt.  Except for the North Lake  Plaza
retail property (which is described in Item 2 below), all of  the
Partnership's  properties  were sold to  unaffiliated  purchasers
prior to October 31, 1998.

The Partnership is currently negotiating an agreement to sell the
North  Lake Plaza property to an unaffiliated party. See  Item  7
below.

The  Partnership considers its business to include  one  industry
segment,  investment  in  real property.   Financial  information
regarding  the  Partnership  is  included  in  the  Partnership's
Financial Statements in Item 8 below.

The  North  Lake  Plaza property is subject to  competition  from
similar retail properties in the vicinity in which it is located.
Further  information regarding competition and market  conditions
where the property is located is set forth in Item 7.

The Partnership has no employees.

All  of  the  Partnership's business is conducted in the  United
States.

<PAGE>
ITEM 2.  PROPERTY

The  Partnership's  principal offices are located  at  Two  World
Trade  Center, New York, New York 10048.  The Partnership has  no
other offices.

As  of October 31, 2000, the Partnership owned directly the North
Lake  Plaza  property,  a shopping center  located  in  Altamonte
Springs, FL.  The acquisition was completed in 1986 for a cost of
approximately $10,110,000.  The property has a net rentable  area
of  137,000  square  feet,  and was built  with  on-site  parking
facilities.

Generally, the leases pertaining to the property provide for pass-
throughs  to  the  tenants  of their pro-rata  share  of  certain
operating  expenses.   In  the opinion of  the  Managing  General
Partner, the property is adequately covered by insurance.

An  affiliate of the Partnership was the property manager for the
North Lake Plaza property through December 31, 1999.

Further  information relating to the Partnership's properties  is
included  in  Item  7 and Footnotes 4, 5 and 6 to  the  Financial
Statements in Item 8 below.

ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

    None.

ITEM 4.  SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

No  matter was submitted during the fourth quarter of the  fiscal
year to a vote of Unit holders.

                       PART II.

ITEM 5.  MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND
        STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

An  established  public trading market for  the  Units  does  not
exist,  and it is not anticipated that such a market will develop
in  the future.  Accordingly, information as to the market  value
of  a  Unit  at  any given date is not available.   However,  the
Partnership  does  allow  its  limited  partners  (the   "Limited
Partners")  to transfer their units if a suitable  buyer  can  be
located.

As  of  December 31, 2000, there were 12,680 holders  of  limited
partnership interests.
<PAGE>
The  Partnership is a limited partnership and, accordingly,  does
not  pay dividends.  It does, however, make distributions of cash
to   its   partners.   Pursuant  to  the  partnership  agreement,
distributable  cash,  as  defined, is paid  90%  to  the  Limited
Partners   and   10%  to  the  general  partners  (the   "General
Partners").

Sale proceeds are distributed, to the extent available, first, to
each  Limited  Partner, until there has  been  a  return  of  the
Limited    Partner's   capital   contribution   plus   cumulative
distributions  of  distributable cash and  sale  proceeds  in  an
amount sufficient to provide a 9% cumulative annual return on the
Limited Partner's adjusted capital contribution.  Thereafter, any
remaining  sale proceeds will be distributed 85% to  the  Limited
Partners  and  15%  to the General Partners  after  the  Managing
General Partner receives a brokerage fee, if earned, of up to  3%
of the selling price of any equity investment.

The  Partnership did not pay cash distributions during the  years
ended  October  31,  2000 and 1999.  On November  29,  2000,  the
Partnership paid a cash distribution of $10.75 per Unit from  the
previously  undistributed proceeds from  the  1998  sale  of  the
Harborgate property.  The total distribution of $997,385 was paid
100% to the Limited Partners.

The  Partnership does not anticipate making regular distributions
to   its   partners  in  the  future.   Generally,  future   cash
distributions will be paid from proceeds received from  the  sale
of the North Lake Plaza property and cash reserves.

Taxable income generally is allocated in the same proportions  as
distributions of distributable cash or sale proceeds (except that
the  General  Partners must be allocated at least 1%  of  taxable
income from sales).  In the event there is no distributable  cash
or  sale  proceeds, taxable income will be allocated 90%  to  the
Limited  Partners and 10% to the General Partners.  Any tax  loss
will  be  allocated 90% to the Limited Partners and  10%  to  the
General Partners.

</TABLE>
<PAGE>
ITEM 7.MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION AND  ANALYSIS  OF  FINANCIAL
       CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Partnership raised $92,780,000 in a public offering which was
terminated  in  1984.   The Partnership has  no  plans  to  raise
additional capital.

The  Partnership purchased six properties and made one investment
in  a  partnership which owned an office property on an  all-cash
basis.  The Partnership's acquisition program has been completed.
No additional investments are planned.

The Partnership's sole remaining property is the North Lake Plaza
Shopping  Center,  which  is located in  the  city  of  Altamonte
Springs,  FL.  Due  to  changes in the city's  zoning  code,  the
property  became  "non-conforming".  Although  it  can  still  be
occupied  and  used as is, the Managing General Partner  believes
that  the  "non-conforming"  status  of  the  property  made   it
difficult  to sell the property as a shopping center at  a  price
that  reflected  its  full  value.   Therefore,  the  Partnership
entered into an agreement with the city, whereby the city had the
sole  authority  to offer the North Lake Plaza property,  and  an
adjacent  property owned by the city, for sale as  a  part  of  a
redevelopment  plan that allows higher density  development  than
currently exists at the location of the two properties.  The city
has identified a party who wants to redevelop the properties, and
the  prospective redeveloper must negotiate separate purchase and
sale agreements with the city and the Partnership to acquire  the
properties.  There can be no assurance that the North Lake  Plaza
property will be sold through the above-described plan.

The Partnership expects to sell the North Lake Plaza property  in
fiscal 2001.  Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, the sale  of
the   Partnership's  last  property  investment  will  cause  the
dissolution of the Partnership.  Thereafter, the Partnership will
wind  up  its  affairs,  make  a  final  cash  distribution,  and
terminate.

The  retail market in Altamonte Springs is strong.  During  2000,
average occupancy at the North Lake Plaza property was 88%,  and,
at  October  31,  2000,  occupancy at the  property  was  86%  (a
decrease of 3% from October 31, 1999).  The lease for Home  Depot
(for  approximately 50% of the property's space) is scheduled  to
expire  in  2003.  The Burlington Coat Factory, which  sub-leased
all  the space leased to Home Depot, vacated the space in October
1999;
<PAGE>
however,  both  Home Depot and Burlington remain  obligated,  and
continue to pay rent, under the lease.  This vacancy is adversely
impacting the sales of smaller tenants at the property.  However,
the  Managing General Partner believes that this vacancy will not
adversely  affect its ability to sell the property as part  of  a
redevelopment   plan.   The  lease   of   Marshalls   Inc.   (for
approximately  21% of the space) is schedule to expire  in  2002.
The  property  is  leased  to 9 other tenants;  no  other  tenant
occupies more than 10% of the property's space.

During  the  year  ended October 31, 2000, the North  Lake  Plaza
property generated positive cash flow from operations, and it  is
anticipated that the property will continue to do so  during  the
period the Partnership continues to own it.  In fiscal 2000,  the
Partnership added the cash generated by North Lake Plaza  to  the
Partnership's cash reserves.

During  the year ended October 31, 2000, the Partnership did  not
pay cash distributions.  In November 2000, the Partnership paid a
cash  distribution of previously undistributed proceeds from  the
1998  sale  of  the Harborgate property (see Item 5).  Generally,
future  cash  distributions will be paid from  proceeds  received
from the sale of the North Lake Plaza property and cash reserves.

The  Partnership believes that its cash reserves are adequate for
its needs in fiscal 2001 and thereafter.

Except  as  discussed above and in the Financial Statements,  the
Managing  General Partner is not aware of any trends  or  events,
commitments or uncertainties that may have a material  impact  on
liquidity.

Operations

Fluctuations in the Partnership's operating results for the  year
ended  October  31,  2000 compared to 1999  and  the  year  ended
October 31, 1999 compared to 1998 were primarily attributable  to
the following:

There  were  no  individually significant  factors  which  caused
changes  in  the  Partnership's  operating  results  in  2000  as
compared to 1999.

The  gains  on sales of real estate in fiscal 1998 resulted  from
the  sales  of  the  Carmel  Park,  Harborgate  and  Westwood  10
properties.  See Note 5 to the Financial Statements.


<PAGE>
In  1999, rental income, property operating expenses, and general
and  administrative expenses decreased as a result of the  fiscal
1998  sales  of  the  Westwood 10 and Carmel Park  properties  in
December 1997 and the Harborgate property in July 1998.

Interest  and  other income decreased in 1999  compared  to  1998
primarily  because  the Partnership earned interest  in  1998  on
proceeds  from  the sales of properties until such proceeds  were
distributed to Limited Partners.

There were no other individually significant factors which caused
changes in revenues and expenses in 1999 as compared to 1998.

Inflation

Inflation  has been consistently low during the periods presented
in  the  Financial Statements and, as a result,  has  not  had  a
significant  effect on the operations of the Partnership  or  its
properties.

Independent Auditors' Report


To The Partners of
Dean Witter Realty Income Partnership I, L.P.:


We  have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Dean  Witter
Realty  Income  Partnership I, L.P. (the  "Partnership")  as  of
October 31, 2000 and 1999, and the related statements of income,
partners' capital, and cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended October 31, 2000.  Our audits also included the
financial  statement schedule listed in the  Index  at  Item  8.
These financial statements and financial statement schedule  are
the   responsibility  of  the  Partnership's  management.    Our
responsibility  is  to  express  an  opinion  on  the  financial
statements  and the financial statement schedule  based  on  our
audits.

We  conducted  our audits in accordance with auditing  standards
generally  accepted  in  the United States  of  America.   Those
standards  require that we plan and perform the audit to  obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements  are
free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining,  on
a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the  financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the
accounting  principles used and significant  estimates  made  by
management,   as  well  as  evaluating  the  overall   financial
statement  presentation.  We believe that our audits  provide  a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Dean Witter  Realty
Income Partnership I, L.P. as of October 31, 2000 and 1999,  and
the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the
three  years in the period ended October 31, 2000 in  conformity
with  accounting  principles generally accepted  in  the  United
States  of  America.   Also,  in  our  opinion,  such  financial
statement  schedule, when considered in relation  to  the  basic
financial  statements taken as a whole, presents fairly  in  all
material respects the information set forth therein.

                  Notes to Financial Statements

1.  The Partnership

Dean Witter Realty Income Partnership I, L.P. (the "Partnership")
is a limited partnership organized under the laws of the State of
Delaware  in  1983.  The Partnership is managed  by  Dean  Witter
Realty Income Properties I Inc. (the "Managing General Partner").
The Partnership's fiscal year ends on October 31.

In   1984,  the  Partnership  issued  92,780  units  of   limited
partnership   interest  (the  "Units")   for   $92,780,000.    No
additional Units will be sold.  The proceeds of the offering were
used  to  make  equity  investments in  income-producing  office,
industrial  and  retail properties which were not  encumbered  by
debt when acquired.

The  Partnership  expects  to  sell  its  remaining  real  estate
investment   in   fiscal  2001.   Pursuant  to  the   Partnership
Agreement,  the  sale of the Partnership's last  such  investment
will  cause the dissolution of the Partnership.  Thereafter,  the
Partnership  will  wind  up  its  affairs,  make  a  final   cash
distribution, and terminate.

2.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The Partnership's records are maintained on the accrual basis  of
accounting  for  financial  reporting  and  tax  purposes.    The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles  generally accepted in the United  States  of  America
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure  of
contingent  assets and liabilities at the date of  the  financial
statements  and  the  reported amounts of revenues  and  expenses
during  the  reporting period.  Actual results could differ  from
those estimates.

Cash  and  cash  equivalents consist of cash  and  highly  liquid
investments with maturities, when purchased, of three  months  or
less.
<PAGE>
          DEAN WITTER REALTY INCOME PARTNERSHIP I, L.P.
                  Notes to Financial Statements

The  carrying  value of real estate includes the  purchase  price
paid by the Partnership and acquisition fees and expenses.  Costs
of  improvements to the properties are capitalized,  and  repairs
are  expensed.   Depreciation is recorded  on  the  straight-line
method.   The  Partnership  stops  recording  depreciation  on  a
property when it is reclassified as real estate held for sale.

At  least annually, and more often if circumstances dictate,  the
Partnership  evaluates the recoverability  of  the  net  carrying
value of its real estate and any related assets.  As part of this
evaluation, the Partnership assesses, among other things, whether
there has been a significant decrease in the market value of  any
of  its properties.  If events or circumstances indicate that the
net  carrying  value  of a property may not be  recoverable,  the
expected  future net cash flows from the property  are  estimated
for a period of approximately five years (or a shorter period  if
the  Partnership  expects that the property may  be  disposed  of
sooner),  along with estimated sales proceeds at the end  of  the
period.   If  the total of these future undiscounted  cash  flows
were  less than the carrying amount of the property, the property
would  be  written down to its fair value as determined (in  some
cases  with  the  assistance of outside real estate  consultants)
based  on  discounted  cash  flows,  and  a  loss  on  impairment
recognized by a charge to earnings.

Because the determination of fair value is based upon projections
of  future  economic  events  such as property  occupancy  rates,
rental  rates, operating cost inflation and market capitalization
rates  which  are  inherently subjective, the amounts  ultimately
realized  at  disposition  may differ  materially  from  the  net
carrying  value as of October 31, 2000. The cash  flows  used  to
evaluate  the  recoverability of the properties and to  determine
fair  value  are  based on good faith estimates  and  assumptions
developed by the Managing General Partner.  Unanticipated  events
and   circumstances  may  occur  and  some  assumptions  may  not
materialize;  therefore,  actual  results  may  vary   from   the
estimates and the variances may be material.  The Partnership may
provide  additional  write-downs  which  could  be  material   in
subsequent  years  if  real  estate  markets  or  local  economic
conditions change.

Deferred  leasing commissions, a component of other  assets,  are
amortized over the applicable lease terms.



<PAGE>

          DEAN WITTER REALTY INCOME PARTNERSHIP I, L.P.
                  Notes to Financial Statements

Rental income is accrued on a straight-line basis over the  terms
of  the  leases. Accruals in excess of amounts payable by tenants
pursuant  to  their  leases (resulting from rent  concessions  or
rents  which periodically increase over the term of a lease)  are
recorded as receivables and included in other assets.

Net income per Unit amounts are calculated by dividing net income
allocated to Limited Partners, in accordance with the Partnership
Agreement, by the weighted average number of Units outstanding.

No  provision  for  income taxes has been made in  the  financial
statements,  since the liability for such taxes is  that  of  the
partners rather than the Partnership.

For income tax purposes, Partnership results are reported for the
calendar  year.  The accounting policies used for  tax  reporting
purposes  differ  from  those  used for  financial  reporting  as
follows:   (a)  depreciation  is  calculated  using   accelerated
methods,  (b)  rental income is recognized based on  the  payment
terms in the applicable leases, and (c) writedowns for impairment
of  real estate are not deductible.  In addition, offering  costs
are treated differently for tax and financial reporting purposes.
The  tax  basis  of the Partnership's assets and  liabilities  is
approximately $6.6 million higher than the amounts  reported  for
financial statement purposes.


3.  Partnership Agreement

The  Partnership Agreement provides that distributable  cash,  as
defined, will be paid 90% to the Limited Partners and 10% to  the
General Partners.

Sale  proceeds  will  be  distributed, to the  extent  available,
first, to each Limited Partner, until there has been a return  of
the   Limited  Partner's  capital  contribution  plus  cumulative
distributions  of  distributable cash and  sale  proceeds  in  an
amount sufficient to provide a 9% cumulative annual return on the
Limited Partner's adjusted capital contribution. Thereafter,  any
remaining  sale proceeds will be distributed 85% to  the  Limited
Partners  and  15%  to the General Partners  after  the  Managing
General Partner receives a brokerage fee, if earned, of up to  3%
of the selling price of any equity investment.

<PAGE>


          DEAN WITTER REALTY INCOME PARTNERSHIP I, L.P.
                  Notes to Financial Statements

Taxable income generally is allocated in the same proportions  as
distributions of distributable cash or sale proceeds (except that
the  General  Partners must be allocated at least 1%  of  taxable
income from sales).  In the event there is no distributable  cash
or  sale  proceeds, taxable income will be allocated 90%  to  the
Limited  Partners and 10% to the General Partners.  Any tax  loss
will  be  allocated 90% to the Limited Partners and  10%  to  the
General Partners.

No  distributions  were paid during the years ended  October  31,
2000 and 1999.  Distributions paid to the Limited Partners during
the  year  ended October 31, 1998 included a return  of  capital,
determined  as cash distributed per Unit in excess of accumulated
earnings  per  Unit not previously distributed,  of  $351.10  per
Unit.

  4.   Real Estate Investments

The  location, year of acquisition and net carrying value of  the
Partnership's sole property are as follows:
                                    Net Carrying Value
                          Year of     at October 31,
                        Acquisition              2000       1999

North Lake Plaza,
 Altamonte Springs, FL  1984, 1986              $6,506,450$6,695,332

Due  to  changes  in  the zoning code of the  city  of  Altamonte
Springs,  FL., the property became "non-conforming". Although  it
can  still  be  occupied  and used as is,  the  Managing  General
Partner believes that the "non-conforming" status of the property
made it difficult to sell the property as a shopping center at  a
price  that reflected its full value.  Therefore, the Partnership
entered into an agreement with the city, whereby the city had the
sole  authority  to offer the North Lake Plaza property,  and  an
adjacent  property owned by the city, for sale as  a  part  of  a
redevelopment  plan that allows higher density  development  than
currently exists at the location of the two properties.  The city
has identified a party who wants to redevelop the properties, and
the  prospective redeveloper must negotiate separate purchase and
sale agreements with the city and the Partnership to acquire  the
properties.  There can be no assurance that the North Lake  Plaza
property will be sold through the above-described plan.

All of the properties were sold to unaffiliated buyers.

The net proceeds from the sale are net of closing costs.

As  of  October  31,  2000, all of the net  sales  proceeds  were
distributed  except for $997,385 from the sale of the  Harborgate
property, which was added to the Partnership's cash reserves.  On
November  29,  2000,  the  Partnership  distributed  such  amount
($10.75 per Unit).  In accordance with the Partnership Agreement,
all  of the distributed net sales proceeds were paid 100% to  the
Limited Partners.

All  gains from property sales were allocated 100% to the Limited
Partners.

6.  Leases

<TABLE>
          DEAN WITTER REALTY INCOME PARTNERSHIP I, L.P.

                  Notes to Financial Statements

The  Partnership has determined that all of the property's leases
are  operating leases.  The lease terms range from three to eight
years,  and generally provide for fixed minimum rents with rental
escalation and/or expense reimbursement clauses.

7.  Related Party Transactions

An  affiliate  of the Managing General Partner provided  property
management services for North Lake Plaza until December 31, 1999.
In  1998,  the  affiliate  also  managed  two  other  Partnership
properties.   The Partnership paid the affiliate management  fees
of  approximately $8,000, $43,000 and $58,000 for the years ended
October 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.  These amounts are
included in property operating expenses.

Another  affiliate  of  the  Managing  General  Partner  performs
administrative functions, processes certain investor transactions
and  prepares tax information for the Partnership.  In 2000, 1999
and  1998  the  affiliate  was reimbursed approximately  $32,000,
$46,000  and  $159,000, respectively, for these  services.  These
amounts are included in general and administrative expenses.  The
2000  fees  are  also  included in accounts  payables  and  other
liabilities at October 31, 2000.
